Back to where it all began - Xabi Alonso has been named manager of the club he made his debut for, Real Sociedad

Phillip Cocu took over Derby from Swansea City legend Frank Lampard.


Newcastle still don't have a manager.

Just as a clarification, Xabi has taken over managing the Real Sociedad B team.

If Bruce goes to Newcastle it will be important to have perspective.

The usual waffle of young managers not being given a shot will bubble up, and on the surface, it will seem true. However, everyone knows what an awful job Newcastle is right now until ownership changes. I wouldn't be surprised if several young managers looking for their big shot would not take it if it was offered. Second, Ashley is a complete moron when it comes to running that club so he'll have no foresight, no future thinking in mind. He'll go for a name and someone he thinks can grab a 17th-place finish.

Nobody but recycled English journeyman should be taking that job as of now, as they're best fit to meet the demands (just keep us up, mate), so we shouldn't be surprised when that's what happens.

Just to add to this, Rafa said this in a blog post he made about his arrival in China:
"I've had more meetings with the chairman, the president and the general manager this week in China than in three years at Newcastle. "


That says a lot about the Newcastle setup. I'm sure many managers wouldn't even consider this job after the way they treated Rafa and the things he as been saying about the club.

That really is why it's perfectly setup for someone such as Bruce. He won't care about signings, he'll just get on with it and if the worst happens and he's sacked or relegated, it won't hurt his reputation or stop him from grabbing another Championship job.

Basically, if you have nothing to lose, welcome to Newcastle.

Here we go, Steve Bruce has officially left Sheffield Wednesday, reportedly to join Newcastle for a measly 1m p/a, apparently Rafa was on 6m p/a, for reference.
